Steve had the classic ablation with electrodes via a vein in his groin rather than the cryogenic technique. We asked his consultant about cryo but he didn't have experience of that. He was always very positive and reassuring and Steve had no hesitation in deciding to go ahead with the op. He was advised not to run for six weeks afterwards and so he wore his boots the weekend after his op when we reccy'd the Oldham Way Ultra so he wouldn't be tempted to run! Good luck
